...machine is minuscule: 21½ in. long by 27 in. wide, and only 370 Ibs. But listen to it hum. Bolted into a fragile frame of piping and Plexiglas, it generates 330 h.p., sounds like a Dixieland band, and last week propelled Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 31 (TIME cover, July 9, 1965), to a record average speed of 107 m.p.h. in the South African Grand Prix, his 25th Grand Prix victory-breaking the alltime career record set by Argentina's now-retired Juan Manuel Fangio...
Like the other Clark victories, this one was scored in a Lotus, one of those creations of British Designer Colin Chapman that have made such proud marques as Ferrari and Maserati alsorans on the Grand Prix circuit. In place of the familiar old Coventry Climax engine (originally designed to power a fire-engine water pump), the Lotus 49 boasts a brand-new V-8 Ford-Cosworth engine that may well give Ford a Grand Prix championship to go with the victories it has already won at Indianapolis, Le Mans and on the stock-car circuit.

...public opinion, stirred by continued Vietnam war protests and Negro violence, might tolerate the prosecution of "subversives." Although organizations could fight the SACB in court, such legal action requires much time and money. Many groups went bankrupt fighting the strictures of the 1950 Internal Security Act. And if Ramsey Clark has to report to Congress, he may be pressured to work with the SACB. Senator Dirksen has said that he will make sure the Attorney General carries out the provisions...
